Inter Milan signing Radja Nainggolan has laughed off convincing Mousa Dembele to join him at the San Siro.

Dembele only has 12 months left of his contract and Inter boss Luciano Spalletti is thought to be weighing-up a deal to bring him from Tottenham.

When quizzed in his first press conference since switching clubs, 30-year-old Nainggolan refused to be drawn to speculation about his fellow countryman.

“Let him play in the World Cup, I'll not stress," he said.

“He is a friend, a great player and I'll not pull him to Inter."
